United States Immigration Station

The United States Immigration Station is a former government building located at 333 Mount Elliott Street in Detroit, Michigan. Until March 2024, it was known as the Rosa Parks Federal Building, and houses the Detroit Field Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. History In 1853, a section of land on the corner of Mt Elliott and Jefferson Avenues in Detroit was set aside for the purpose of constructing a Marine Hospital. The original hospital was completed in 1857, and sited 225 feet off Jefferson. The hospital opened the same year, with Zina Pitcher as the first physician in charge. At some point, additional structures were built to support the hospital, including a building to house nurses on the corner of Mount Elliott and Jefferson. In the early 1930s, the U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs and Border Protection took over the site of the Marine Hospital on Jefferson. The original buildings (now razed) were repurposed, and in 1933 this new office building was constructed. A modern addition was constructed in the rear of the building in 1964, at which time the main entrance was moved to face Mount Elliott. The building was designated the "Rosa Parks Federal Building" in 2005, and in 2014 received extensive interior renovations and updates. However, the "Rosa Parks Federal Building" designation was removed in 2024 and applied to a larger building on Michigan Avenue in Detroit. Tenants moved to the Michigan Avenue building, and the Jefferson Avenue building was listed for auction on the GSA website for a $400,000 starting bid. Description This building is a three story Colonial Revival structure built of brick with limestone trim. It has a hipped roof covered with red clay tiles and topped with a prominent cupola. The foundation is built of limestone block, forming a water table; the walls above are brick. The corners feature raised brickwork simulating quoining. The primary facade on the north contains the original entryway. The facade is symmetric, with three window bays and a center entrance. Surrounding this entrance surrounds are carved limestone features, including a pair of Ionic columns and a wide frieze with the words "United States Immigration Station." The entryway opens onto a raised limestone block porch, but the steps were removed during the 1964 renovation. See also United States Immigration Station, Angel Island. References

Université d'État de Grand Valley

L'université d'État de Grand Valley (Grand Valley State University) est une université publique d'arts libéraux américaine, fondée en 1960 à Allendale Charter Township faisant partie de la zone non incorporée de Grand Valley à l'est de Grand Rapids dans l'État du Michigan. Histoire En 1958, une étude menée auprès de la législature d'État du Michigan avait démontré la nécessité d'une université dans la région de Grand Rapids, la deuxième plus grande agglomération du Michigan. L. William Seidman, homme d'affaires et originaire de Grand Rapids, a créé un comité pour étudier ce rapport afin de commencer la planification et la promotion d'une telle institution. L'année d'après, l'Assemblée législative du Michigan a commencé la construction de l'université. L'assemblée générale a organisé un concours afin de trouver un nom pour l'université, et parmi les 2500 soumissions, celui de « Grand Valley State College » a été choisi. Les dons privés (incluant 350 000 $ pour acheter des terrains et 1 000 000 $ pour la construction), ont été reçus de quelque 5 000 personnes, organisations et entreprises situées dans l'ouest du Michigan. En 1961, le rectorat de Grand Valley State College a choisi et acheté les terrains pour le campus, qui s'étendent sur près de 876 hectares dans le comté d'Ottawa, près de la rivière Grand et la construction de bâtiments universitaires a commencé l'année suivante. Les premières années La première promotion de Grand Valley State College fut accueillie en 1963 et comptait 225 étudiants dont 138 ont reçu leurs diplômes le 18 juin 1967. Vers la fin des années 1960, Grand Valley a vu l'addition des résidences étudiantes et la construction de nouveaux bâtiments universitaires, y compris la bibliothèque Zumberge, portant le nom du premier président de l'université, James Zumberge. Pendant les années 1970, Grand Valley a adopté le principe des facultés multiples, en créant le College of Arts and Sciences, le Thomas Jefferson College, le William James College, le Seidman College of Business, et le College IV. Ancien gouverneur du Michigan, William Milliken avait promulgué en 1973 le changement du nom de l'université qui devient Grand Valley State Colleges. Cependant, le « s » a été supprimé et le nom Grand Valley State College sera rétabli en 1983, lorsque les programmes d'études ont été organisés en filières. Facultés et départements L'université est composée de huit facultés distinctes : The Seidman College of Business College of Community and Public Services College of Education College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Padnos College of Engineering and Computing College of Health Professions Kirkhof College of Nursing College of University-wide Interdisciplinary Initiatives Population étudiante Notes et références Portail des universités américaines Portail du Michigan
Gaskraftwerk Midland

Das Gaskraftwerk Midland (englisch Midland Cogeneration Venture) ist das leistungsstärkste Gas-und-Dampf-Kombikraftwerk der Welt. Es steht in Midland im US-Bundesstaat Michigan. Geschichte Ursprünglich sollte es ein Kernkraftwerk mit zwei Druckwasserreaktoren werden. Der Eigentümer Consumers Energy beantragte die dazu notwendige Genehmigung im Jahr 1968. Die Planungen verzögerten sich jedoch, so dass erst im März 1973 mit den Bauarbeiten begonnen werden konnte. Die Reaktoren sollten von Babcock & Wilcox gebaut werden. Infolge des Unfalls im Kernkraftwerk Three Mile Island am 28. März 1979 geriet das Projekt in Schwierigkeiten, wurde aber trotzdem fortgeführt. Erst im Jahr 1984 entschloss sich der Betreiber, das Projekt aufzugeben. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkte war das Kraftwerk zu 85 % fertiggestellt und Consumers Energy hatte bereits 4 Mrd. $ investiert, wodurch das Unternehmen an den Rand der Insolvenz geraten war. Aus diesem Grunde musste der Mutterkonzern CMS Energy einspringen und übernahm die Aufsicht über das Projekt. Im Jahr 1986 entschied CMS Energy, das unfertige Bauwerk in ein Gaskraftwerk umzuwandeln. Die Bauarbeiten dafür dauerten noch einmal 5 Jahre und verschlangen 500 Mio. $. Das Kraftwerk wurde schließlich 1991 in Betrieb genommen. Technik Das Kraftwerk erbringt eine elektrische Leistung von 1.560 MW und produziert damit 10 % des Strombedarfs in Michigan. Außerdem wird die Abwärme in Form von Prozessdampf genutzt: das Kraftwerk stellt pro Stunde 612 t Dampf für die chemische Industrie zur Verfügung.
